Some Packers players didn't know game could end in a tie

It was hilarious when Donovan McNabb admitted in 2008 that he didn’t know NFL games could end in ties. It was still funny four years later when players on both the 49ers and Rams said the same thing. And, I’m not going to lie, after hearing that some Green Bay Packers players still believed Sunday’s game against the Vikings would go to a second overtime period, the whole thing remains amusing.

But one thing has changed. While all of the overtime ignorance was pathetic, now it’s just sad, isn’t it?

Robert Klemko of The MMQB shared the celebration of cluelessness after the Pack and Vikes tied 26-26 on Sunday:

One of the Packers who didn’t know OT rules was starting TE Andrew Quarless: “I thought we was gonna go to another overtime. I never knew.”

How? I mean, how? Seriously. How? How is it possible that players still don’t know the overtime rules? It was ridiculous enough when McNabb did it, but given the attention his celebration of his own cluelessness received, it seems impossible that an NFL veteran could still not be aware of the simple fact that NFL games can end in ties. It’s only been around since, oh, the creation of the league in 1920. Not knowing about ties is like Quarless saying he wasn’t aware the forward pass had been legalized or that Prohibition was no longer in effect.
